A4: candidates and campaign teams can also attend our workshops for more detailed & tailored advice :) #samarachat

[CanYouEngage @canyouengage]

Candidates also need to go to places young people already frequent. Meet them where they are #SamaraChat

[CanYouEngage @canyouengage]

@SamaraCDA social media and using language accessible and understandable by youth #samarachat

[CanYouEngage @canyouengage]

A2: many of the other ways youth engage highlight the depths to which young ppl are disillusioned w current status quo #samarchat

[CanYouEngage @canyouengage]

A1: Youth engage politically in ways that seem accessible to them. #samarachat

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

Important stat from @SamaraCDA's report: Elections turnout for youth contacted by political leaders was 15% higher. #samarachat

[CanYouEngage @canyouengage]

The different ways young people politically engage provide good tips on how candidates & orgs can innovate #samarachat

[Samara Centre for Democracy @TheSamaraCentre]

Although youth vote in lowest #s, youth participate in many other ways #samarachat

[CanYouEngage @canyouengage]

@foff_CA That message has indeed been delivered to us.

[Samara Centre for Democracy @TheSamaraCentre]

Why do we care? B/c contact can increase turnout! #samarachat

[Samara Centre for Democracy @TheSamaraCentre]

Even more startling: political leaders are failing to contact youth #samarachat

[CanYouEngage @canyouengage]

Hi! We are flipping the script, engaging candidates to help them better engage youth! #samarachat
